Nice boat!

Too rich for my 3 kid raising self.

[RidgeRunner]

Thanks, you ain't alone. I waited too long to list it but I don't need 3 boats anymore. This is a nice rig. They are crazy expensive, New. Tell a friend.LOL.. Thanks for looking.

[RidgeRunner]

We just put 8 hours on the Whaler this past weekend. She is running great. I discovered the rope that lashes the canvas to the T-top was getting kinda rotten. It will be fresh and new for the new owner. In black this time.

[RidgeRunner]

Bump with a lowered price. Plan on using it over Thanksgiving. I prefer to sell it whole but if you don't like the Opti motor, buy it without and repower with your motor(s) of preference. The fuel tank has the extra fuel pickup for twins if desired. I can use the Opti on the Wellcraft and more than double my range over the current EFI 250. This Whaler is rated for single or twins to 300hp. Thanks for looking..

Looks Good Ridge! Good luck with the sale!

[RidgeRunner]

Bump for the nine month itch...

Nice boat, hope she sells for you my friend.

Tell me Ridge, why does she need a 30" shaft on her Opti? Looks like a standard transom height?

[RidgeRunner]

The boat has a 30" transom. Motor is mounted to the transom like normal. Lots of freeboard. Some of these were rigged with twins, twins used 25" motors.
I hope it sells soon. Peak of the season is here. Going to run an ad on Boat Trader. There are about five of these boats on there now, all more $$$. This one is prime for the taking. Not saying it is the nicest one but it is one of those boats that will be around in another 20 years IMO. And thanks Willy.

Have you tried craigslist yet? You get alot of tire kickers, but there are some buyers as well.
